Sutherland v. Arent CA1/1
We set forth the facts underlying the siblings’ dispute in Sutherland I and need only briefly summarize them here. Sutherland and Arent’s parents held three Lakeport properties in trust: a 76-acre parcel on Scotts Valley Road that includes a ranch house on one side of the road and a cabin on the other (“the Ranch”), a nearby hayfield with no structures, and a 15-acre parcel across the road from the Ranch that includes a house where appellants have lived since the early 1990s. The parents named Sutherland as the successor trustee, and she, Arent, and their two other siblings are all trust beneficiaries. Sutherland and Arent’s mother died in 2016, and their father died in February 2017. Shortly after the father’s death, Arent told Sutherland that their father had appointed him (Arent) as lead trustee and had changed how he wanted the trust administered.
Sutherland initiated litigation, which lasted years.
